“Those statistics lie,” said Kerr, whose West-leading Warriors fell to Atlanta, 124-116 on Friday and will travel to the Garden on Saturday to face the Knicks. “Statistics would say I’m better than them. Those guys are way better than I was.”

Kerr, the 3-point shootout winner at All-Star Weekend in 1997, finished his career as a five-time NBA champ – and the leading 3-point shooter in history at 45.4 percent. But Kerr admits he was a standstill shooter, not in the same class as Curry and Thompson.

“They’re as good as anybody I’ve ever seen. Steph is very unique because he can do it off the dribble. Nobody’s ever had this combination, this skill set of ball handling, quickness and range,” Kerr said. “The rhythm with which he shoots is just mesmerizing.

Steve Kerr says he had a different style than Thompson and Curry.AP

“Klay is technically more sound as a shooter than Steph. He’s more fundamental. His release is a little quicker, a little more pure, but it’s a different stroke than Steph’s,” Kerr explained.

“Steph’s is built more on rhythm and timing. Steph gets a little of his left thumb in it because he was little as a kid. In high school, he was really small so he needed a little extra ‘oomph,’ so he gets a little flick, which a lot of guys did — I did, Larry Bird did, Reggie Miller,” Kerr said. “Klay technically from the shoulders up is as good as anybody I’ve ever seen. It’s so pure and simple. It’s an incredible stroke. The two of them together are an amazing combination.”

Curry and Thompson will compete in the All-Star 3-point shootout Feb. 14 at Barclays Center. Of the eight-man field, three players have made as many as 10 triples in a game this season. Cleveland’s Kyrie Irving is one. Care to guess the other two?

Thompson shot 9-of-9 on 3-pointers in his stunning 37-point third quarter Jan. 23 against Sacramento, on his way to 52 points and 11 triples. Curry shot 10-of-16 on 3s while scoring 51 points against Dallas on Wednesday. But Kerr stresses Curry’s skills make him so much more than just a shooting star.

“The only guys I can think of that are close would be Mark Price, Steve Nash and Mahmoud Abdul-Rauf,” Kerr said. “He had a lot of that, but didn’t have the same range that Steph has. Nash didn’t have the speed. But Mark Price, Steph’s very similar to price. Price had that package, but not to the extent Steph has it.”

Still, statistics say Kerr was the best.

“I only shot when I was wide open. These guys are better shooters than I was. They have to shoot much tougher shots. They shoot off screens, off the dribble,” Kerr said. “I just shot when I was wide open with my two feet set because that’s all I could do. I wasn’t good enough.”
